Well today is my first day of doing the IV alone. Brother is in town and I was at the folks for Brunch. Then when I got home, I called my folks to let them know that I'm starting my IV and if they don't hear from me within an hour... the door is unlocked. Called Shannon to say "nice knowing ya" and thanked her for all the help and tips.
Earlier I took all my herbal supplements and two oral antibiotics with breakfast and now, a few hours later, I'm in the final minutes of running the IV.
I think I followed all of Shannon's instructions perfectly and funnily enough I didn't have any air bubbles while running the IV this time. Maybe she was trying to off me ;~
Before I started I ran a saline flush into my picc line and I will do the same when I'm done. I still seem to be alive and hope that when given another day or two I'll be a bit more relaxed with the whole process. Feeling just slightly dizzy and woozy with a bit of a headache, but otherwise quite content with my current state.
OK, I need to book off for a moment here and finish this off... gotta do it right now........
Done and still alive. A few air bubbles with the saline flush, but as I have been told should be nothing to wory about. I will try and perfect this.
Now it's time to call Mom tell her all is well and then I'll have a little lie down. Maybe watch some Olympics later and be inspired by what a healthy people can do.
